"That's funny, I saved you this afternoon. But now you look like you're suspecting me," Esson said later."I didn't know you were so selfless?" Felicia said casually with a shrug. "I just felt. You shouldn't be acting like this," Esson said. "Well, please Mr. Esson give me a lesson in proper behavior," Felicia pleaded in a sarcastic tone of voice."Instead of teaching you something insignificant like that. I'm more interested in the reason why you and your son are here. Are you waiting for someone?" Felicia closed her eyes and took a deep breath. Unfortunately, Esson had finally reminded Felicia of the reason she had come here with Reynold. And to make matters worse, there had been no word from Edward until now. "Are you treating me like this, because you're waiting for someone? Is it a man? Are you afraid that the man will misunderstand? If that's the case, I can give him an explanation. That is, if the person you're waiting for is really coming."Felicia glanced at Esson. Wellhh
"Please, ma'am. I can't really let you go home with another man. Sir Edward might kill me!" The man begged Felicia not to let him and Reynold go with Esson. Right now he was scared. Afraid that Edward would blame him for letting her go with another man."Edward won't kill you. He wouldn't dare! I'll talk to him and defend you later. Besides, it's his own fault! Why did he break his promise and not come!" Felicia insisted. "But, Mrs. Felicia. I can't..." "I can't hold out any longer. Even now, he still hasn't given me any news. So I'm sorry, I'll leave now!" Felicia interrupted.The man could do nothing. Felicia still preferred to go with Esson even though he had persuaded her. Actually, there was no rule that Felicia had to go home with him again, especially if Edward could not be contacted like this time. But still, the driver aka the man already knew what would happen if Edward found out that he let Felicia go with another man instead."Oooh, my God. I'm going to be in big trouble
"Take the tips. Thank you for driving me," Felicia said as she got out of the taxi. "You're welcome, ma'am. Shall I help you bring the child in?" the driver asked."No need, I can carry him myself." Felicia carried Reynold on her lap. The boy had apparently fallen asleep on the way home in the online taxi she had booked earlier. She looked a bit troubled. Diego suddenly appeared just as Felicia was about to open the door. "Come here, let me take Reynold. You open the door first," Diego said as he picked up Reynold's body, moving it off Felicia's lap.Felicia nodded, and opened the door using the key after Diego had taken Reynold.Felicia wasn't surprised to find Diego still in the house. He had been gone for quite some time. That was why Felicia didn't go home with Esson and preferred to take an online taxi home. It didn't feel too good to have Diego see her with another man considering she had recently rejected him again."I'll take Reynold to his room first," Diego said.He took
The smell of medicine was strong and the atmosphere was calm. Edward woke up in a bright white room. An IV needle was stuck in one of his hands. The other hand was wrapped in a bandage. The man woke up and immediately sat up. He realized that his body was currently on a patient bed."Edward!" said Zean when he saw that his boss or friend was now awake and in a sitting position. Jeff, turned around and followed Zean to Edward's bed. Zean and Jeff were talking in the room before Edward finally woke up."Don't rush to get up. You don't look so good right now," Zean said. Edward held his head. He was still feeling dizzy."What happened?" Edward asked later.Zean glanced at Jeff. He hoped Jeff could explain it to Edward since he was the Doctor here and obviously knew more about what happened."What? Why are you looking at me like that?" asked Jeff cluelessly.Zean rolled his eyes. In the end it was still up to him to talk to Edward."You were unconscious all night because of the poison l
Zean did not get out and go to Felicia's house. He sat behind the wheel of the car with the window open. He watched as Edward stood at the door and Diego opened it."Why is Diego there too? Aaarkh, this brother-sister discord is so hard to understand," Zean said to himself.Edward's face was flat, even after he saw Diego in front of him. Under the circumstances, without even having to ask, Edward knew Diego must have stayed the night.Diego, meanwhile, smiled wryly at his brother's early morning arrival in almost as bad a shape. Yes, Edward's appearance was no better."Well, well. Look who's here. The CEO of an Atlanta company has so much idle time. You look impressive." It was obvious Diego was being sarcastic about Edward's current state. Although there was another part that caught Diego's attention. The IV needle marks and the bandage on his hand."Spending the night at your brother's ex-wife's house. You sure know how to enjoy life. But I have no intention of making conversation w
Felicia opened all the doors and windows of the bakery that was now hers. A few days ago, after much negotiation and chatter, the girl had managed to get the place for a fair price. But it wasn't easy. Aside from a game of words, Felicia had also willingly made a promise to the previous owner's son."I will make this place come back to life. It will be even livelier than before." Because the shopkeeper's son had taken good care of it, it didn't look dirty or creepy even though it had been abandoned. Felicia wandered around the place alone. Images of the design of the culinary establishment she was going to set up had already begun to emerge in her brain. "There will be a lot of renovations and additions to the space. I can imagine that this place is going to be very interesting. Rest easy there old grandpa, I assure you I will fulfill my promise," he said."But where is that person. Why haven't they come until now? They're giving me bad judgment even at the first scheduled meeting,"
"I don't think Uncle Jimmy would just hand over all the shares of his company to Diego. Unless... if he has other plans?" said Edward casually."Then do you also have a plan to deal with your Uncle?" Zean asked later."No," Edward replied firmly."But, I have this!" continued Edward as he showed something on his cell phone.Zean looked shocked. He widened his vision in disbelief. "Are you crazy? Is this a secret. Does anyone else know about this?" asked Zean enthusiastically."No, no. The only ones who know about this are me, and Will. But now, you know," Edward replied."Will?" Zean sounded like he was wondering. Who was Will."Will is the son of Mr. Thomas, my late father's lawyer. After Mr. Thomas retired, Will took over his father's duties. And is now my lawyer. But... not many people know about this," Edward replied. "Again with the secrets. How many secrets do you actually have?" "Quite a lot. Yes, I must have enough secrets to survive," Edward said with confidence."Cihhh, s
Inside the spacious room, the top brass of the Atlanta company were sitting around a large table. The men who wore suits and ties every day seemed to be waiting for the arrival of one more person. Everyone was waiting anxiously. They began to wonder what drama was about to unfold in the room.Diego was there too. He was one of the waiting company officials. Behind the chair where Diego sat, a male assistant was also waiting. But his purpose was different. He was just waiting for orders or in case Diego needed something. In fact, Diego rarely uses personal assistants. He preferred to be surrounded by bodyguards, or use assistants remotely. It seemed like there would be a different meeting this time."Hasn't Edward been doing whatever he wants lately?" "Yes, he's forgotten our role as the company's board." "But even so, Edward can take the company forward.""What's the point if he doesn't respect us. Look, he hasn't even arrived when everyone has gathered.""Perhaps we should start th
Felicia slammed the door and ran out of the car as it stopped in front of the hospital."Felicia, slow down!" Vilia shouted at the woman.But Felicia didn't hear her. She just kept running, running without even looking back. There was only one goal. She had to see for herself how Reynold was doing. Meanwhile, Vilia went to park her car. Felicia arrived at the door of the room where Reynold was according to the instructions Edward had given her. And as soon as Felicia opened the door, everyone immediately looked at her. Inside the room were Edward, Zean, Doctor Alvin and of course Reynold. Reynold was currently sitting on the patient's bed. He smiled happily at the arrival of his mother. "Mom!" Reynold shouted to Felicia. Felicia immediately ran over and hugged Reynold tightly. So tightly that the boy was probably having trouble breathing."Oh my God, Reynold. Are you okay? How are you doing now. Tell me which part hurts?" Felicia immediately bombarded Reynold with all sorts of qu
Diego and Reynold had reached their destination. It was a large house that had been neglected and was full of fire damage. Reynold got out of the car and followed Diego fearfully. The little boy thought hard."Didn't Uncle Diego say we were going to his and my father's childhood playground. But why did he bring me here?" Reynold muttered to himself.Reynold stopped following Diego. He didn't want to follow any further as the man walked towards the house.Diego then looked back and saw Reynold had stopped walking. He approached the boy and squatted down in front of him."Why are you doing nothing, Rey?" Diego asked."I don't want to go there, Uncle. I want to go home," Reynold said.Diego smiled at Reynold. His two hands now grasped the boy's shoulders and squeezed so hard that the boy winced in pain."Aaarkh it hurts, Uncle. Let go of me!" said Reynold."You want me to let you go, right?" asked Diego.Reynold nodded quickly."Then you'll keep following me, won't you?" said Diego agai
"You're right! Diego didn't go to the airport!" Zean shrieked. "So where is he now?" asked Edward."Briefly, he's also on the move. But I don't know where he's going," replied Zean. "Then we'll follow where Diego is going. But just in case, tell your men to stay at the airport and keep an eye on the people who are about to board the flight to Paris. We can't let our guard down," Edward ordered."Fine, just leave everything to me. Soon we will find your son," Zean replied.Zean stepped on the gas hard, sending the vehicle speeding through the streets. Armed with Diego's GPS location, they were taken into the hills, far from the city and a bit remote.Along this road, Edward was familiar with the directions and places they passed. All of this seemed to evoke childhood memories that Edward did not want to remember at all.Apparently while driving the car, Zean also noticed Edward's slightly strange demeanor. The man's demeanor was uncharacteristic."Are you okay, Edward?" Zean asked wi
"I still can't believe you hid something this important from me, Zean!" Edward grumbled at Zean.Zean and Edward were currently on their way to the airport to catch up with Diego and Reynold with Zean at the wheel."I didn't hide it. It's because you're so stupid and insensitive. Don't you realize? Although Reynold is also similar to Diego, he is clearly dominant and more similar to you. When I first met Reynold back then, I already knew he was your son in one look," Zean explained at length. "Forget about bonuses or vacations to private islands. You won't get any of that," Edward retorted."Don't worry, I'll book a ticket to Africa by myself later," Zean joked. Edward rolled his eyes and looked the other way. More precisely out the car window. "But you know... it's still like a dream to me. All of a sudden, I have a child. And that child is a big boy now," Edward said. "Do you want me to hit it to prove it's real or a dream?" Zean asked. The airport was quite far from where Zean
"What a surprise that the honorable Mr. Edward would contact Diego. I am truly honored," Diego told Edward over his cell phone. "I'm not playing games with you, Diego. Tell me where Reynold is now. I know you're the father, but taking the boy suddenly without his mother's knowledge is not right. You kidnapped your own son!" Edward said to Diego. Zean and Felicia glanced at each other, the contents of the two people's heads were more or less the same. Edward still misunderstood Reynold. And he said that to Diego, so Edward could be considered a fool by that man."Pffft ha ha ha, oooh gosh. You're so funny. I don't know if you're just funny or stupid!" Diego retorted."It seems like until now, you haven't found the truth at all!" Diego added.Edward, who had wanted to focus on his intention to find Reynold, was now curious. What truth was Diego referring to."Stop joking around and tell me what you mean." Edward spoke seriously. "You think I'm joking? No, not at all. You can ask your
"But after you came back and even brought a child from Diego, I couldn't do anything about my feelings. I want you! My love never went away, I tried to hide it and failed! That's why I'm going to be selfish now to get you back. I'll separate you from Diego and even lock you up from now on if necessary. I also don't care if Reynold is Diego's son. I'll take him too. I will still love him like my own son," Edward continued at length. Wow, this was the longest conversation that had ever come out of Edward's mouth in his entire life. He spoke without stammering or hesitation. It was as smooth as a speech. Felicia was dumbfounded by every word Edward spoke."But, I don't..." "Felicia, do you know where we are right now?" Edward asked when Felicia hadn't finished speaking.Felicia then shook her head. She really didn't know where she was at the moment."We're in the hotel room where we first stayed. Do you remember?" A memory of their past was now spinning in Felicia's mind. She looked a
"Congratulations on your victory," Zean said as he flirtatiously winked at Edward. "I haven't won yet. Who told you that lie," Edward retorted."You already have everything. What else do you have to be afraid of. Mr. Jimmy's already lost, yeah! And now you just have to continue your business with Felicia that was delayed," Zean explained. "But... I don't know if she'll accept you or hate you later if she wakes up still bound like that," Zean added, pointing at Felicia.Felicia was still unconscious. She was sitting and tied to a chair with her eyes covered with a black cloth. In front of her was a table with unlit romantic candles. And not far beside Felicia was a bed with a bed of red and white roses that formed a word of love so beautifully and in such a way. "Eeehm, no. I think all women like surprises," Edward replied confidently."Now, it's time for you to leave before Felicia wakes up. I don't want you to be the first person she sees when she takes the blindfold off!" protest
Diego starts telling Felicia all about Mr. Jimmy. He tells Felicia about how Mr. Jimmy will target her because she is a weakness for Edward. Diego also tells Felicia that Reynold is not a secret. Mr. Jimmy knew that Reynold was Edward's son. And Diego also told Felicia all his foul plans with Mr. Jimmy who wanted to destroy Edward.Diego told Felicia almost everything and the dark side of what he had done with Mr. Jimmy so far. Except about Esson. Diego had his own reasons for not telling Felicia about Esson."Wow, this is amazing," Felicia said."I knew you wouldn't believe this. But the truth is, I'm not a good person. And I'm also..." "No, not that part. I've always known that you and Edward had problems!" Felicia interrupted with a hint of emotion.Diego frowned, Felicia's response was hardly what he expected."What do you mean?" said Diego."All those years you were used by Mr. Jimmy to be his puppet. But you didn't realize all that? Mr. Jimmy didn't love you. He just used you.
"Mr. Edward Collins Harvey officially announces the ownership of the Atlanta Company's assets and shares. As the largest shareholder of a giant company like Atlanta, Edward Collins Harvey will crack down on all forms of fraud and blah blah blah!" Felicia read the latest news about Edward Collins Harvey that had accidentally appeared on the homepage of her social media app."Mr. Edward will also officially announce who his secret wife is, which has always been a public question. The mass media is busy and curious. This news had sunk some time ago. But its appearance now is eagerly awaited. " And Felicia read the news silently. Felicia turned off her cell phone and sighed softly. After a long time, Edward finally appeared in the news again. And this time, the man said that he would reveal the identity of his secret wife from the past. Felicia thought it was completely useless. How could Edward reveal her identity after they were no longer in a relationship. "She's such a bitch!" grum
